Pros:

Four of first five ingredients are named meat products, good quality ingredients and good overall meat content, grain free

Cons:

The first three ingredients in this food are all named meat products, as is the fifth and there are ten meat ingredients overall. We note that the first two of these meat products are meat inclusive of water content. Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredients will weigh around 20% of their wet weight and may not be the true first ingredients in the food but rather more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. Since the third (and several subsequent) ingredients are meat in meal form, the inclusion of 'wet' meat products does not give us any concern about the overall meat content of the food - which appears to be amongst the highest currently available in a dry dog food.

The starch content of this food comes from potatoes, which is a good quality source of carbohydrate. We appreciate the inclusion of a range of fruits and vegetables in the food and the use of whole eggs. There is a good range of probiotics.

Like other products in this range, Orijen Regional Red is a completely grain free formula. Grains are not a natural foodstuff for canines, and it is good to see manufacturers producing products of a more species-appropriate nature. Overall, this looks to be amongst the best dry dog foods currently on the market.
